Anchored in Hope: The Prophecy of Christ's Arrival
Advent Sermon Series: The Arrival
Scripture Focus: Isaiah 9:6-7 (NLT)
"For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end."
Advent is a season of anticipation, reflection, and preparation. In today's message, "Anchored in Hope: The Prophecy of Christ's Arrival," we begin our Advent series, The Arrival: Embracing the Hope of Christ's Coming. This sermon reminds us that hope is not an abstract concept but rooted in the person of Jesus Christ.
